Re: does this exist? Fixed 6x w/mil-dot&bdc turrets
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: dontstrokeme</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I have an M8 6x on my 270WSM and once I get the drops out to 500 yards I am leaning seriously on sending it back to Leupold....either for a std Mil-dot and a drop marked elevation turret or a drop compensating reticle...not sure on which way to go...I belive that Leupold will do whatever you want done if you pay them and it is feasable. </div></div>
That's the one beauty of a Leupold; modularity after the sale. For my own uses I call them Mark 3's. Take any V-III or FX-III, add turrets, and a mildot or TMR reticle and you have Mark 3. Not quite as good as a real Mark 4, but better IMHO than the Mark 2's Leupold peddles.
I've done just that with a Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40mm LR I just bought on closeout, $500. for the scope, plus $280 to Leupold for M1 turrets, and TMR reticle. For a total of $780. I have a Junior Mark 4 (or Mark 3 as I call it), that near equals what Leupold sells for a street price of around $1100. I can buy a lot of ammo or reloading stuff for that $300 difference.
Someone who puts their life on the line or saves the lives of others, really need a real Mark 4 or NightForce, or USO, or S&B. The rest of us paper punchers or hunters can get by with a little less.
